Coaches Notes:
Hilda came to me with a big, no a HUGE Dream! To Complete a 6-mile open ocean swim called El Cruce. It entails swimming from Cancun to Isla Mujeres, Mexico.
We started training last April in 2024, and we had our first swim video analysis. Hilda had a hard time swimming freestyle for a single 25 yards! I was not worried because I know what is possible when you put in the work, and that is exactly what she has done.
The improvements have been truly spectacular in less than a year. In practice now, she consistently swims sub 2 minutes/ 100 yards, and she just completed her first open-water swim at Swim for Nick—4200 meters in very rough conditions.
As part of her journey, she also completed the Lifetime Miami 13.1 with other team members and her family with my Running Essentials Program and joined my Nutrition Essentials Program.
She has lost 13 lbs. and feels energized and strong from healing her gut, eliminating toxins, and improving digestion and nutrition.
Hilda, I know we have not completed the Dream yet, but I could not help but shout from the rooftops about all of your amazing successes. You are a true inspiration to all that anything is possible when you put in the work and follow the instructions! You are a true Rockstar Runner and Swimmer—maybe a Triathlon will be next?
Thanks for choosing Full Circle Coaching for your Journey!

Meet Hilda, 41-Year-Old Real Estate Professional
Why did you choose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
I was recommended to the group by another member and after following Full Circle Coaching on social media and seeing how they were helping thier members achieve their dreams, I knew this was the group that was going to help me reach my Dream.
What is your “A” race for this season?
El Cruce Cancun- 6 mile open ocean swim from Cancun to Isla Mujeres, Mexico May 18, 2025
What are your BIG goals?
Completing the El Cruce swim within the allowed time and then completing the swim to Alligator Lighthouse and back. AN 8 mile open water swim in the keys.
What were some of your biggest improvements in performance for each of the following? Swim, Bike, Run, and Nutrition/Health. Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved.
As part of my journey to the El Cruce, I got inspired to also sign up for the Lifetime half marathon, since others in the group and my family wanted to do it.
So, I learned how to run with proper technique and use the track and long runs to train to complete the goal. I completed the 13.1 and was very proud of myself!
I also wanted to get in better shape regarding my nutrition and lifestyle so I joined Erinne’s Nutrition Essentials Program. I have learned so mauch about how important it is to remove the toxins in our food and our environment, as well as how to eat and fuel myself with healthier sports nutrition and daily food choices. I did not knwo what is did not know. I have lost 13 lbs. I’m so happy!
Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey
1- The coaches
If it would not be for the amazing and knowledgeable coaches I would have gotten frustrated and would have given up a long time ago. They have all shown me so much not only about the different sports but about life itself.
2- The members of the group are like a family. I love how they all are interested in what the other is doing and we all push each other along celebrating each other’s wins and being supportive to all of our struggles.
What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?
I am super excited for this new journey of living healthy and active where I can be a role model for my kids.
What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
